Daily Discussion: Sting getting another title shot at Slammiversary

Today’s topic: This year’s TNA Slammiversary PPV will be headlined by Bully Ray vs. Sting for the TNA championship. This marks the fourth consecutive year Sting is involved in the TNA title match at the PPV. Is he deserving?

His legacy says yes and I think he’s the best bet they have right now. There’s no-one else in TNA who has been pushed to that level in time for the PPV, plenty of people who could (or should) have been, but no-one who actually has.

Sting should be helping make these younger guys. Can he help continue to elevate ray? If so I have no problem with this. As long as it has meaning. But sting has been severly downsliding skill wise due to age. And there’s only so long you can hide that.

Dumb decision. So much young talent not being used correctly. What the hell is Samoa Joe doing!? With Joe, Angle, Styles, Roode, Storm, Hardy, Aries, Abyss, Morgan and yes, maybe even Bully Ray, there is more than enough talent to have a great Heavyweight division. I’m sure Sting isn’t cheap to keep around and I doubt anyone is buying PPV’s for him. Time to get rid of Sting AND Hogan and start focusing on what matters, the wrestling.

To be fair, Sting hasn’t held the title since losing it to Kurt Angle in August 2011. Plus, he had always been TNA’s reliable hand to put over a credible top heel as champion. He did it with Bobby Roode last year. And now, it’s Bully’s turn.

Sting is now well into his fifties he has no business in a Heavyweight title match at this point in his career. If he wins, exactly what does that day about the rest of the company. This is almost as bad as Ricky Morton getting a shot at the NWA Championship. Better yet lets have Arn Anderson Challenge for the WWE Championship.

Sting is a true corner stone of wrestling. He has wrestle so many great matches over the years. I believe that he is entering hus final run and I like to see him as champion. I think aj styles would a great storyline for yhis years bound for glory and a true passing of the torch. Bully ray has done well but I don’t see him going much farther. Stibg vs. Jeff hardy could wlso be the gane changer and repay fans for what we missed a coupke of years ago at victory road 11.

@eddie your comment is worthless to everyone since you didn’t even add anything to the daily discussion and I didn’t even mention WWE in my post. I am a fan of both but was just giving my opinion on this one subject.
